BIOPTRON Color Light Set

Color is light and light is color

The sun emits light at different frequencies. These frequencies of light can be separated by a process called refraction. When light goes through a crystal prism, it refracts and divides into the seven colors of the spectrum. Each color has its own frequency.
If the separated colors go through another prism they will reform white light. The first person to demonstrate this phenomenon at the end of the 17th century was Isaac Newton, the great British physicist.

Color wavelengths and frequencies
Energy is considered to travel in waves. The distance between successive waves is called wavelength and the number of times a wave oscillates in one second is called frequency. As per general rule: the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. Each color has its own characteristic
frequency and its individual wavelength. Only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible to the human eye.
Violet has the shortest wavelength while red has the longest.
Beyond violet lies ultraviolet which, although invisible to the human eye, can pass through our body. Ultraviolet is what provides us with a suntan and kills bacteria.
The longest wavelength at the other side of the spectrum given by, is red. Beyond red lies infrared followed by microwaves, radar, radio and television wavelengths, all invisible to the human eye. Red, orange and yellow, carried on longer wavelengths, seem to reach the eye faster than the colors on the other side of the spectrum. They are called warm colors as we associate them with fire and sunshine. Green, blue and violet are perceived as cool colors. They travel in shorter wavelengths, so they seem to take longer to reach our eyes; they bring to mind the water of the sea and rivers, the sky, the winter dawn. They are also called receding colors, because of the long time their energy takes to reach our eyes. Each warm color has its complementary cool color: red – blue, orange – indigo, yellow – violet, green – red (magenta).

Reveal the power of color

Everybody feels dull and sluggish sometimes. Have you ever thought that perhaps you are surrounded by the wrong color? Colors are essential for our body and soul, and can keep our batteries charged. No matter what color you like to wear or surround yourself with, the seven colors of sunlight can influence us subconsciously.

The 7 colors of the rainbow
You know it very well. When the sun shines through the rain, you may see a rainbow in the sky.
As sunlight passes through the water droplets, it bends and splits into the colors of the rainbow. Sunlight is known as visible or white light and is actually a mixture of all visible colors. Rainbow is made up of seven colors because the water droplets break the white sunlight into the seven colors of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). The bigger the raindrops are, the brighter the rainbow will appear in the sky.

We can feel the colors
Color is energy. Every color has its own wavelength and frequency. As a result, we perceive color not only visually, but absorbing it subconsciously through our skin. When penetrating into our body, color produces chemical reactions that affect the function of various organs and systems. Color helps our skin “tissues” and organs to stock up on energy thus increasing the body’s resistance. This newly charged energy gives us strength to fight against
disease.

The color chakra therapy
Health is contingent upon balancing not only our physical needs, but our emotional, mental and spiritual needs as well. The color chakra therapy principle is based on the assumption, that colors are associated with seven main chakras, which are spiritual centres in our bodies located along the spine. These chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to the specific area.
Chakra (pronounced sha-kra) is the Sanskrit word for "wheel". It is assumed, that chakras store and distribute energy. There are seven of these chakras and each is associated with a particular organ or system in the body. Each chakra has a dominant color, which may become imbalanced. If this happens, it can cause a disorder and physical ramifications. By introducing the appropriate color, the disorder is considered to be improved.
Below is a description of each chakra, its corresponding color and body area location.
